Chapter 248 They are such a perfect match
The original version of "Left Ear" is a movie about youth pain made by a new director with a bunch of new actors.
The leading actor at that time, Ou Hao, was just a newcomer to the entertainment industry who debuted in [Happy Boys], and Chen Duling was a pure amateur.
As supporting actors, Ma Chun, Yang Yang, and Guan Xiaotong are also of average reputation.
All the actors in the entire group combined are not as famous as Su Youpeng as the director, so as the producer and distributor, Guangguang naturally placed the main publicity target of the movie on Su Youpeng and let him carry it. The film's promotion banner was launched.
Even in a later interview, Su Youpeng admitted that he changed his career as a director because he wanted to be behind the scenes safely and did not want to stand in front of the stage again. Some of the publicity activities were arranged by the publicity company.
But there is no way, for the sake of the box office of the movie, he, the director, has to stand up.
It’s different now. Because of Gu Wei’s participation, [Left Ear] has been very popular from the start of filming to the pre-release publicity. Enlight Media naturally focused on all the publicity points of the movie. On Gu Wei.
After all, he is the only big-name star in the movie. Just like Jordan and four college students team up to compete on the basketball court. Without anyone mentioning it, everyone's eyes will naturally focus on Jordan.
In fact, in early April, under the arrangement of the promoter, Guangguang Media, director Su Youpeng had already started taking some actors from the crew to hold press conferences and runs across the country to promote the film.
Gu Wei was unable to be there due to film shooting, but occasionally he would shoot some VCRs to help.
A strange phenomenon has emerged. Gu Wei, the main actor who has never appeared, occupies the largest space in every media report.
As the release date of "Left Ear" approaches, the Baidu index and topic popularity of the movie continue to rise. The other two youth films of the same period, "All Things Grow" and "Why Sheng Xiao Mo" will inevitably be released by everyone. Compare together.
It goes without saying that Fan Bingbing and Han Geng are famous. Yang Mi and Huang Xiaoming are also real first-line stars. Only Gu Wei's [left ear] looks a bit lonely, except for Other actors besides him are much less famous.
On April 22, the movie "Left Ear" held a grand premiere ceremony in Beijing.
As the leading actor, Gu Wei would naturally not be absent. He had already flown back to the capital a day early and took a few days off from Lu Yang to promote the release of the movie. Director Lu was quite reluctant, but there was nothing he could do about it. Gu Wei was the male lead. , it is impossible for him not to appear when the movie is released.
In the afternoon, Gu Wei arrived at the premiere venue early. Today he was wearing a white shirt and black pants. His overall appearance was quite youthful and campus-style, and he looked refreshing.
As soon as we got off the bus, the fans and moviegoers who had arrived early all around let out overwhelming screams.
"Ahhh~Gu Wei, look here!"
"Brother, I love you!!"
"Brother is so handsome!"
"I love you for ten thousand years!!"
"."
Gu Wei turned around with a smile and waved to the fans before walking quickly Walked across the red carpet and entered the venue.
“Brother Youpeng, I’m sorry, I just arrived now to promote our movie~”
When I entered the venue, I saw Director Su Youpeng who had already arrived. He was wearing a black suit and a pair of black-rimmed glasses today. He looked elegant and elegant.
"It's okay, it's okay. I can understand if you join the team for filming. The drama is bigger than the sky.
However, now that we are here, the promotion of our movie depends entirely on you! "
Su Youpeng stood opposite Gu Wei, patting his arm with a smile and said.
【Left Ear】is Su Youpeng's first movie, and it will be released soon. To be honest, he has no confidence at all. If this movie fails, then his just-started director career will be basically over. It's about to end.
The only one who can give him confidence now is Gu Wei. As long as he uses Gu Wei's fame to boost the box office of this movie, not to mention it will be a hit, as long as he can make back his money, then his future career as a director will be easy.
"Don't worry, director, as long as I'm here, our movie will be a hit at the box office."
Gu Wei said confidently, patting his chest.
He was not polite at this time, because he knew that everyone from the producer, Enlight Media, to the director Su Youpeng and other actors in the crew were placing the burden of the movie's box office on him.
The current market environment is like this. How much box office a low-cost love movie can have depends entirely on the box office appeal of the big-name stars in it.
Just like Li Jiaheng's movie "There's a Place Only We Know" at the beginning of the year, the final box office was 275 million.
Both the capital and the audience believe that this box office is Li Jiaheng’s box office appeal as a top trafficker.
Even though the director of the movie is Xu Jinglei, a former top four actress, and the heroine is also the famous Wang Likun, no one thinks that the audience came to watch the movie because of them.
Of course, if it flops at the box office, Li, as the top male lead, will be the only one to take the blame, which is fair.
Similarly, [Left Ear] is a low-budget youth romance film shot by a new director. It does not have any big-name stars except Gu Wei, and the heroine is a complete newcomer.
Naturally, everyone will regard Gu Wei as the only selling point of the movie. He is responsible for the box office success, and it is he who takes the blame for the box office failure.
After chatting with Su Youpeng for a while, Gu Wei calmed his nervous mood.
Although Su Youpeng dumped Gu Wei Shitiaojie from the actor's resume, now he is just a new director. This is his first time. The worry about gains and losses has made his mentality slightly unbalanced.
After a while, other actors in the crew also arrived one after another.
"Gu Wei~"
Chen Duling was wearing a floral dress, with shoulder-length short hair, a fair and tender face, and a pair of big eyes. She looked very surprised and happy when she saw Gu Wei.
"Du Ling, long time no see ~ did you miss me?"
Gu Wei said with a smile on his face.
"Haha~ We all miss you. I think you, a big star, have forgotten us a long time ago!"
Before Chen Duling could reply, Guan Xiaotong walked up from behind. interjected.
She was wearing a long black and white dress today, looking a little mature, with a pair of straight long legs, and her carefree personality was clearly exposed when she opened her mouth.
Mas Chun, who was following him, was wearing a black top and a white lace skirt, with long hair shawl, and light makeup on his face. He looked gentle and quiet, looking at Gu Wei with a smile.
Gu Wei smiled and nodded to Ma Chun, then he played Guan Xiaotong quickly and his head went crazy.
“Ah yo~”
“How can I talk to your brother Wei?”
Guan Xiaotong covered her white forehead, looked at Ma Chun next to her aggrievedly, and asked for help:
"Sister Si Chun, he bullied me~"
"I can't control it."
Ma Chun looked at Guan Xiaotong playing tricks with a funny look on his face.
“Wrong or not?”
Gu Wei raised his hand and threatened to play again.
"Wrong, wrong, Brother Wei, we know you are busy filming, don't play me, how can I see people at the premiere if you play a big bag for a while~"
"That's pretty much it~"
Gu Wei thought for a moment.
“I’ll be the host after the premiere and let’s go out and have a party.”
"Okay, okay~"
Guan Xiaotong agreed immediately.
Ma Chun stood aside and smiled and nodded.
Gu Wei looked at Chen Duling again.
"Du Ling, come with us."
"Me?"
Chen Duling was a little surprised. Gu Wei had a particularly good relationship with Ma Chun and Guan Xiaotong when they were on the crew. This was seen by everyone, so just now Guan Xiaotong and Gu Wei's roughhousing seemed normal to her.
I just didn’t expect that Gu Wei would invite him. "Yes, it's more lively when there are more people. When it's over, I'll ask the director if he wants to go with us."
"Well, count me in."
Chen Duling accepted Gu Wei's invitation, her lips curled up, her eyes slightly narrowed, looking like a beautiful lily.
Behind Chen Duling and the others, Yang Yang, Ou Hao, and Hu Xia also arrived.
"Brother Wei!"
"Brother Wei~"
The three of them greeted Gu Wei one after another, and Gu Wei responded with a smile.
At today's premiere, celebrity guests such as Lin Xinru, Gu Juji, Li Mingqi, Xu Zheng, Zhang Yibai, Bao Bei'er were also present to support Su Youpeng.
Gu Wei also invited two friends who happened to be in the capital.
"Brother Jing, thank you for coming here today."
"Haha, brother, why are you so polite to me?
But I have to say something to you, on the 18th You didn’t come to [War Wolf]’s celebration party, so you owe me this drink, and I’ll make up for it later.”
Wu Jing wore a black suit and appeared at the premiere of "Left Ear".
His movie has just become a hit, and he attracted a lot of attention as soon as he entered the theater.
"No problem, I'll make up for the drink when I make a date with you later!"
Gu Wei said proudly.
He still remembers that when he was on the set of [Gujian], Wu Jing approached him for investment, and the two of them drank so much that it was dark and dark.
But now his physique has improved compared to that time, and there is no pressure to challenge Wu Jing, the "wolf warrior", in a one-on-one match.
Hearing what Gu Wei said, Wu Jing seemed to recall Gu Wei's drinking capacity.
"Well, your sister-in-law is very strict now, so we brothers can just get together and have a drink."
"Brother Jing, you are afraid of your wife!"
Gu Wei laughed at Wu Jingdao.
"Why are you afraid of your wife? I respect my wife!"
Wu Jing said it with righteousness and righteousness.
Then he explained:
“The main reason is that when I was making movies before, my family relied on your sister-in-law to support me alone. I feel guilty, but now my wife can do whatever she says. "
"Haha~ I understand, I understand, Sister Nan is indeed virtuous, I understand it!
Let’s meet up for a drink later, I’ll tell my sister-in-law! "
Gu Wei patted Wu Jing's shoulder and said.
"It's okay if you speak~
You have more face than me in front of your sister-in-law! "
"By the way, Brother Jing, do you have any ideas for the second part of [Wolf Warrior]? ”
After chatting with Wu Jing for a while, Gu Wei started to ask about business matters.
"I have a rough idea in my mind right now. I will prepare the script first, and then start shooting when the script is perfected!"
"Okay, let me know when you decide. Give money to others, and I will support you 100% as before!"
Gu Wei said proudly.
Although the first part of [Wolf Warrior] exceeded 500 million at the box office, it actually only made tens of millions of profits for Gu Wei.
For other people, making so much money by investing in a movie is already very good, but Gu Wei still doesn't like it.
The next [Wolf Warrior 2] will be the real big earner, and the net profit will be measured in hundreds of millions.
"No problem. When the script is finished and the budget is ready, I will send it to you as soon as possible."
Wu Jing feels that he is really close to this little brother Gu Wei. First of all, From the first meeting, he felt like an old friend at first sight, and from the beginning of filming to the later release, Gu Wei helped him a lot, and he has always been grateful to Gu Wei.
After making money in [Wolf Warrior 1], many film companies in the industry came to him, hoping to invest in his second movie.
He did not relent. Maybe some other investors would join in for resource exchange later on, but he would never forget the two brothers Gu Wei and Lu Jianmin who really provided help in times of need.
While the two were chatting, a burst of cheers from fans suddenly came from outside.
Wu Jing glanced back, smiled and said to Gu Wei:
"Brother, the beauty is here, I won’t talk to you anymore, let’s make an appointment later!"
>
After that, he walked away.
After listening to Wu Jing's words, Gu Wei turned his head and looked in the direction of the door. Liu Yifei, wearing a long lavender dress, walked in gracefully.
Her hair was tied into a bun, her oval-like face was fair and tender, her beautiful eyes were like autumn water, she had a tall nose and slightly raised red lips, and she walked towards Gu Wei.
After she entered the venue, everyone's attention seemed to be attracted to her. Compared with her, other female stars suddenly seemed a little eclipsed.
Many invited media are also whispering.
“It’s actually Liu Yifei.”
"Why is she here? Liu Yifei rarely participates in such activities?"
"It's so beautiful. Gu Wei must have invited her. They have made movies together before and there have been scandals~"
“Don’t worry about why she came, just hurry up and take some photos!”
“.”
Liu Yifei’s movie [Legend of the White Ghost: Desperate Escape] hit the street, she Nothing to do, just relaxing at home in Beijing.
Gu Wei invited her by the way while chatting with her, but she didn't expect that she agreed directly.
“As you requested, I will come over today to support your new movie!”
“Sister Yifei can come today, and the premiere of [Left Ear] will be brilliant, and You are really beautiful today!”
Gu Wei really didn’t expect Liu Yifei to agree. She never liked attending such occasions, so she didn’t expect to come today.
Liu Yifei raised her hand to cover her mouth and chuckled.
"Why don't you be so exaggerated? It seems that every time we meet you have to praise me a few words. Do I have to say a few words back to you? You are also very handsome today!"
"But what I said is the truth. Ah, sister Yifei, you are a typical example of beauty without knowing it!"
Gu Wei said with a serious face.
"Okay~ I'm here to attend the premiere of your movie, you should save your words and praise the movie later~"
In the distance, Chen Duling, Ma Chun and Guan Xiaotong stood Together, they watched Gu Wei and Liu Yifei chatting happily.
"That's Liu Yifei. She's so beautiful in person!
Brother Wei and her look quite good together. These two are the most handsome boys and girls I've ever seen."
< br>Guan Xiaotong looked in the direction of Gu Wei and murmured.
Chen Duling and Ma Chun on the side had unnatural expressions on their faces after hearing her words.
However, they are also beauties and have to admit that Liu Yifei is indeed too beautiful. She is the top beauty among beauties. No matter whether it is skin, facial features or temperament, there is no problem.
